Jabber ID

A Jabber ID, also known as a JID, is a unique identifier used in the Jabber/XMPP (Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol) communication protocol. It serves as a distinctive address for individuals or entities participating in instant messaging and presence information exchange. Similar to an email address, a Jabber ID typically takes the form of “[email protected]” and is essential for routing messages and establishing connections in real-time communication systems. Jabber IDs play a fundamental role in enabling users to find and interact with one another across various Jabber/XMPP-based platforms and services.
